A very exciting sighting of a Bearded Vulture or Lammergeier flying above the vulture restaurant at Golden Gate. This is a youngster but if you look carefully you can still see the "beard". Although not threatened globally, Bearded Vultures are classed as an endangered species in southern Africa.

Worth getting up early on a very chilly morning 🥶 at Golden Gate Highlands National Park to get this shot of a gorgeous bird. Although often seen, it is not so easy to get Speckled Pigeons in an attractive setting. I still want to call them by the old name of Rock Pigeons, which is very appropriate given they nest and roost on cliff faces.

Already yearning for more adventures abroad and the first that came to mind were memories of mine and @thenickheard's incredible trip to #Taiwan with @downtoexplore & @matchandalian!⁠⠀

Upon venturing along the Dongpu Section of the Batongguan Historic Trail it wasn't long before the staggering views of natural wonder and towering peaks started to ensue. This was only a portion of the breathtaking Yunlong Waterfall roaring down the mountainous landscape of Yushan National Park, located in the heart of Taiwan.

Sunrise at the Skillion
I was drawn to the contrast of the vivid blues of the ocean set against the dancing pinks reflecting of fine rainy mist as the sun rises. Only a few minutes later the sun is up in full force and the delicate balance is lost.

My kind of paradise. This is where I go when I need a break from everything. I love going deep into the forest and disappear. The spots I love are off track and to stay safe I carry a satellite sos beacon with me.
It does make me a bit anxious and my mind is keen to list all the catastrophes that can befall me: snake bite, feral dogs, break a leg etc.
But I just have to go. There is something deep in the forest away from civilisation that I can’t describe. It is so intense and beautiful- it is a drug free high.
My mind and body resets and I regain perspective and balance- just by being there.
Have you tried that? Disappearing into nature on your own - off track? What is that like for you? 💚

Some forests regenerate through fire. And others do not. The lush rainforests of Lamington National Park—one of Queensland’s first national parks—do not. Devastating fires are destroying Lamington’s incredible forests and homes to humans and animals alike.

We stand in solidarity with these communities.

It is currently the surrounding forests from these stands of Antarctic Beeches that are burning.
